Hello,

MediaWiki Training will be conducted between 24-26 February (*these are two
different workshops*, see FAQ 1 below). Thanks for showing interest to
join. Here are a few questions we have received, we are sharing with you so
that it may clarify some of your doubts.
*Please promote these events among your communities, so that the most
deserving editors can attend the workshops.*
*FAQ*
*Question 1:* I have applied for TTT2017 (20-22 Feb), is it going to be
automatically included in MWT (24-26 February)?
*Answer 1:* *No, you have to apply separately.* You participation at TTT
does not ensure your participation at MWT. While we understand that some of
you may be eligible for both the workshops, you must apply separately.

*Question 2:* Can someone from outside India apply?
*Answer 3: *Yes, in our earlier editions of these program too people from
outside India participated too. *But note*: a) this is mainly an Indian
program, where people from *Indian subcontinent countries* who are working
for Indian languages communities may also join, b) an international
application is treated similar to an Indian application, and is assessed
only based on its merit.
*Question 3:* I don't have a laptop, can I attend the workshop?
*Answer 3:* In a training workshop, a participant would require a laptop,
We understand that some of you may not have a laptop. If you are selected,
in such cases we would try to provide you a laptop for the event days so
that you can work. You have to inform us before so that we can make
arrangement.
*Question 4:* I am a minor, I may not come alone. Can I bring my relative
to the workshop?
*Answer 4:* It is difficult. We won't be able to pay for your
friend's/relative's travel (or visa, if applicable). Only in the most
difficult situations, we may provide accommodation for your friend/relative
only, But
*you must inform us about such request in details before the event*
*Question 5:* I won't be able to attend all the 3 days. Can I attend 1 or 2
day(s) of the workshop?
*Answer 5:* No, partial attendance won't be accepted. Please see the event
pages for more details.
If you have any other question, please let us know *and please encourage
the editors of your community to apply*.
